Hello Everyone,

Bitcointalk forum is a place where every single member have the freedom to express their own thoughts and ideas. But one thing that took my attention is that in this forum a newbie can't submit his/her vote on a poll. But he/she can open a poll. I think this rules should be reconsider by our forum admin @theymos.

Here is a thread link where a newbie feeling confused about his voting power.

But I see here on the forum that newbie members are able to create a poll.

But its confirmed by forum admin @theymos that newbies will not be able to submit vote. You can see this here,

Previously, anyone could vote in polls. Now you must be at least a Jr. Member. This should make vote manipulation more difficult, though you should still not rely on forum polls for real accuracy.

I am agree with our admin decission that newbies will not be able to vote due to voting manipulation. But if they can't submit vote then why they should allow to create a voting poll.

In my opinion we usually see voting on democratic countries where without being a voter you can't be a candidate or a participant on their voting system. I think if a newbie can't submit vote here on current forum system then should not be allowed here to create a poll too.

I created this new thread because our current voting rules looks conflicting to me
